Review Notes: Box July 2001. This cigar is one of my favourites, very chocolaty and creamy. However this box was a disappointment, the wrapper is a little too light and the consistence is not very good. The flavour is there but in a smaller scale...

Review Notes: A soothing complex smoke that starts with a tingle in the lips, and ends with a lasting alluring aroma. Yes, this is a classic that most are measured up against. A special occasion smoke that ages very well. Worth a place in the Humidor Hall of Fame.

Review Notes: I've smoked two out of my box, 23 to go. I agree with previous positive reviews. Flavor is impressive, burn and draw leave something to be desired - hopefully aging will cure. Very complex and deep, worth the price.

Review Notes: This box was only 6 months old by the box code. Taht being said i gave one a try before putting them into "deep sleep" for awhile. They show quite a bit of promise although still raw. Much better than the couple boxes I have from a few years back. As much promise as this box shows, I still think the Monte #2 has seen better days.

Review Notes: If not for a poor second half, this cigar would have been an 'A'. Lumpy, medium brown, silky smooth wrapper with a firm draw. The scent on toasting, smelling and all through the first half was smooth and had a distinctive coco flavor.
